Student group fasts In Burma protest
¦ Six people from UWB went on hunger strike last week to protest human rights abuses in Burma.

Staff Reporter
Early last week several members of the UW Bothell community vol¬ untarily fasted to protest the con¬ tinuing human rights abuses in Myanmar, formerly know as Burma. Professor Bruce Kochis, students Judy DuPree and Rae Ellen Berthelson had only one meal each day; Alyssa Jordan and Heather Bryant limited their food intake to water, fruit and vegetables, while Francis Michael Lee observed a com¬ plete fast —no food.
The group "hunger strike" was the first action of the new UW Bothell "Human Rights Action Committee," which was formed by students who at¬ tended last month's Washing¬ ton D.C. Human Rights Semi¬ nar. After spending a week in Washington meeting with many world leaders concerning human rights, particularly fo¬ cussing on the plight of the Burmese people and the Kurds ofTurkey and Iraq, many mem¬ bers of the seminar felt that they needed to do something about hu¬ man rights abuses when they re¬ turned to Seattle. On the plane trip back to Seattle, several members of the seminar proposed started a group
to help inform the other students on the Bothell campus of the human rights abuses across the world. The UW Bothell Human Rights Action Committee was born.
The Bothell group is the 111th Action Committee for Human Rights in the nation. Their first ac¬ tion was to agree to join with the other committees (including one on the UW main campus) in a nation¬ wide fast to protest the repressive

government regime. "Fasting gave me a connected feeling," said student participant Heather Bryant, "not only to the Burmese people but also to the other students in my group." For some time now Burma has been controlled by what many con¬ sider to be a militaristic, totalitarian, dictatorship. The power in Burma lies in the hands of the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). In 1990 the SLORC held free elections and the National League for Democracy (NLD) won. Instead of bowing to de¬ feat, the militaristic SLORC ar¬ rested many of the key mem¬ bers of the NLD and placed their party leader, Mrs. Aung
San Suu Kyi under house arrest.
Mrs. Suu Kyi was released from house arrest in July of this year, but the October 5th issue of the New York Times states that "soldiers pre¬ vented Mrs. Aung Sari Suu Kyi, a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, from making a regular weekend speech to supporters" and that Mrs. Kyi is "back under de facto house arrest."
The SLORC regime "has impris¬ oned hundreds of democracy activ¬ ists and press-ganged thousands of children and adults into slave labor. It squanders huge sums on arms imported from China, while leading

Exam assesses Bothell Business students
¦ Business students are being tested as part of a pilot project that may be helpful in adjusting the curriculum to better meet the needs of students.
Philip Panagos staff Reporter
Students in the UW Bothell business program are spending part of their first weeks of class serving as guinea pigs in a pilot assessment
testing program that will possibly take some of the guesswork out teaching students critical thinking skills. Developed by Business pro¬ fessor Pete Nye, along with help from UW Bothell business gradu¬ ate Michele Tofflemire, the exam project is being given to most Busi¬ ness students.
One of the major goals of the assessment program is to help "put together courses and programs that are right on track," says Tofflemire. Both Nye and Tofflemire believe that an exam like this is a good match for our school, which em-

phasizes effective writing and criti¬ cal thinking skills. "Very few schools do a good job of assessing if they teach writing very well," says Nye.
The tests have been offered so far in professors Ted Chepolis, Oleta Beard, and Allain Sampson's classrooms. Students in their classes took an exam measuring their ability to understand good writing, and elements of critical thinking including circumspec¬ tion, logic, tolerance of ambigu¬ ity, and how students defend the assumptions they may have to make in these problems. The exam is approximately two hours long and consists ofa body of questions developed by national corpora¬ tions and institutions to measure critical thinking and writing skills.
One of the hopes for the exam is that it might find consistent weaknesses in students as they en¬ ter I'W Bothell so that the curricu lum may bt adjusted to address these weaknesses.
The program has been reviewed and approved by UW Bothell Dean Norm Rose, Director of Stu¬ dent Services Meg O'Hara, and the new Business program director Stanley Slater on a pilot basis. If the results are useful, the assess¬ ment program may be adopted by all of the other programs at UW Bothell.
